B_RAD Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I definitely feel the CZ has a smaller grip. I'm using VZ Diamond Backs w/palm swell. I love these grips! Is the grip too small? Don't know. That's an opinion for each person but it is smaller compared to my G34. I'd love to hold some of the Tanfo's. Though, I've heard the triggers aren't as nice (again opinion) so, .....

Though, I've heard the triggers aren't as nice (again opinion) so, ..... My gun (once Patriot Defense came out with a full line of Tanfo parts similar to what CGW did for CZs) has a prettt damn nice trigger now. Its 1.5 DA / 0.5 SA pounds lighter and smoother than my buddies CZCustom SP01 Shadow. I've not felt a CGW or truly worked-over fully polished gun to compare to my Tanfoglio. But it really doesn't matter, in my opinion. They're both more than good enough to make the shooter the limitation, and beyond that you're just tinkering for the sake of tinkering. A 1/4lb lighter trigger or .5mm less reset doesn't honestly matter in your match scores. These days, it's simply a matter of "pick the one you like most and go have fun" which is a great thing.

B_RAD Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 ^^^^^Don't tell me that! I want a Lim Pro! Don't need to try one. I'll end spending too much! Ha ha. I agree. With all the other stuff. At some point you're just tinkering to tinker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the heaviest hammer spring (14lb) and a full treatment of PD parts Im at 6.5 and 3, glass smooth. Zero-pretravel single action. It's certainly shootable, and I don't mind the weight I need to have to run my stockpile of CCI primers. 1.4 and 4.5ish weights are easy enough if you want to be slaved to federal primers just like with CZ. There's not much different anymore aside from ergonomics. DA trigger reach is shorter on Tanfos too, despite longer frames. Okay! Done with Tanfo chat! Back to Shadow 2...

I may just buy one to try. Any chance they'll take my nickel plated Mec-Gar mags? Sometimes having to re invest in mags is enough to detour a change!

Small Frame aka CZ mags will stay in for 1 shot though, don't ask me how I know. Edited December 19, 2016 by SCTaylor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an opinion for each person I think you are right and it seems like it is more than just hand size. Within limits, a smaller grip feels very secure to me, sort of like the feel you get from holding a baseball bat that fits you well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
